So this has to still be an AM/Ford engine, right? Are only the V8 engines going to be AMG sourced?

I think deal with building engine in the ford plant in germany is ending soon, which is why AMG got involved. Since AM have no history with turbos, I would guess this is probably something from AMG?

I doubt there is anything 'Duratec' about this V12

They sure did get their monies worth with that 6.0L (5.9) V12. Cool to see the passing of the torch
